MoCarp Posted October 3, 2017 Posted October 3, 2017 One of the mainstays of Carp angling is chumming, yet how do you get your quarry to take your bait amongst all the free offerings? Plastic maze-maggots-pellets even fake bread flavored to be just a bit more enticing than the freebees...but it not so much a taste or scent as the ability of the fish to locate you goody...visually is easy bright colors, pink-orange-chartreuse all make you hook bait stand out. Buoyancy, a pop up standing just above the bed of goodies says pick me pick me, plus easier to inhale all helps............................ But studies have shown PH is the key, pineapple is very acidic soaking your plastic in the juice from a can to crushed pineapple does wonders...salt as well..the change in saline content is also a homing beacon to fish...as it a range of amino acids, lysine-betaine-glycine-arginine added to baits also scream "I AM FOOD" some of these are the additives to bass plastics like gulp-- and Trout powerbait etc.....Ironically sweet corn contains high levels of these amino acids as well as salt (canned sweet corn) perhaps this is why its always been a successful bait for Trout and Carp...try adding some of this weapons to your arsenal of fish catchers..be it your own bass plastics glug...or a super secret carp dough bait.... MONKEYS? what monkeys?
